Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Police said two dog walkers with about nine dogs came across the bag on a popular trail below the Hollywood sign in the Hollywood Hills yesterday.
Sergeant Mitzi Fierro told KCAL-TV that two dogs began playing with the bag. An object fell out and the dog walkers realised it was a severed head, believed to be from a male.
Sgt Fierro said the bag was visible from the trail and it did not appear to have been in the area for a long time.
Coroner's investigators will attempt to identify the victim through dental records.
Detectives are expected to search the area today.
